I have been privileged to work at the Lawrence Livermore National Labs as a summer intern for the second consecutive year. My project involves revamping old and outdated nuclear spectrometry systems at our Nuclear Counting Facility. As an electrical engineering student with an interest in control systems, I have really enjoyed programming and testing software, examining old schematics and creating new diagrams, designing the hardware layout, and interfacing the sensors and actuators with an embedded processor.

I would say that there is probably no better place to do a summer internship in science than LLNL. Here I work alongside scientists with great dedication and passion in pushing research frontiers. At the same time, I know that my work on nuclear fusion can contribute to the future of America’s clean energy. That gives me much motivation to work hard and a sense of pride!

I have interned at the lab for the past two summers, so this will be my third summer here! Ever since my first summer here, I have felt very supported. My first summer, I interned in DTED and worked on the proof-of-concept of an experiment that would eventually fly on a sounding rocket the next year. The next summer, I supported a project in MED where we used microspheres to detect different gaseous environments. This summer, I am interning in CED and working on NIF diagnostics.
